The Assam Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) has requested eligible citizens to submit their applications for new voter registration on or before January 22, 2026 – the final deadline for filing claims, objections and corrections – under the Special Revision (SR) of electoral rolls, which is currently carried out in accordance with the directive of the Election Commission of India (ECI). According to the guidelines under the SR process, voters can submit applications for inclusion, deletion, correction of entries, or change of residence within the stipulated timeframe. “Eligible citizens seeking new voter registration must apply using Form 6, while Form 7 is designated for objections or deletion of names. Form 8 can be used for corrections in personal details or shifting of residence within the constituency. All such applications must be completed and submitted on or before January 22, 2026,” a notification issued on Sunday said.
According to the CEO’s office, applicants can submit their forms offline by approaching their respective Booth Level Officers (BLOs) at designated polling stations, or by contacting the Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) or Assistant Electoral Registration Officer (AERO). Alternatively, voters may opt for the online mode by using the ECINET mobile application or visiting the official portal, voters.eci.gov.in. “There is no legal restriction on the number of Form 7 applications an elector may submit in their constituency, provided the objections comply with the law,” the notification said. The Chief Electoral Officer’s office has also appealed to citizens to verify their names in the draft electoral rolls and take immediate corrective steps if required. “All citizens are requested to ensure that every eligible voter is duly enrolled in the electoral roll of their respective constituency on or before January 22, 2026,” the notification read. For assistance or clarification, voters can contact their nearest Booth Level Officer or dial the toll-free helpline number 1950, it added.
